Read on for information about hunting and fishing in New Zealand.
New Zealand is a very popular destination for the hunting enthusiast. In addition, New Zealand boasts some of the finest trophy hunting in the world.
The big game hunting season in New Zealand starts in February and finishes in August.
There are daily direct flights that leave Los Angeles and San Francisco for Auckland, which is your point of entry to New Zealand. Auckland is also the port where you will clear customs. It is recommended that you arrive 1-2 days prior to your first hunt commencing. That way, you can adjust to our climate and get over any jet lag you may have.
New Zealand is a “hunter friendly” destination. It is very easy to bring a conventional sporting firearm into the country; to apply online, please click here. It should take no longer than 5-10 minutes to clear your guns on arriving at Auckland International Airport.
There are 12 species of big game available to the hunter in New Zealand. These include Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Whitetail Deer, Sambar Deer, Rusa Deer, Sika Deer, Wapiti (Elk), Austrian Chamois, Himalayan Tahr, South Pacific Goat, Wild Pig, and Wild Bulls. All provide good trophies and many have exceeded the trophy potential of their country of origin.
There are 6 water-foul species: Mallard, Paradise, Grey and Shoveler Duck, Black Swan and Greater Canadian Goose.
Typically, visitors book guided hunts on private land. Hunting on private blocks is a fair chase and offers the excitement of tracking and the thrill of the hunt.
